Optrel will be in Booth B-25036. Rather than being strapped around a user’s waist like other systems, the lightweight 1.2-pound low-profile Swiss Air PAPR is worn as a backpack with ergonomic shoulder harnesses that maximize a user’s freedom of movement. The controls, filters, and battery indicators are front mounted for easy visibility and access. The system also features an internally tested assigned protection factor greater than 1,000 and a lightweight, ultra-flat, high-efficiency HEPA filter unit that is 99.98 percent effective. Its strong positive airflow, automatic airflow calibration, and automatic altitude and temperature adjustments ensure comfort and prevent user fatigue.
